A touch of reduction cannot hide the ripe but airy freshly cut fruit aromas, particularly peach and citrus that continue onto the nuanced, sweet and impressively concentrated flavors brimming with ample dry extract that confers a textured and almost chewy quality to the long and explosive finish. This displays superb underlying material that etches itself into the palate. This too is a seriously impressive effort.

(tasted from tank) Exotic aromas of apricot and honey. Strong, generous, slightly aggressive fruit given shape by harmonious acids and solid minerality. Lafon says he will fine this wine with casein to soften its slightly phenolic finish.
